One man\’s year-long journey through the world of baseball

The Hardball Times 2008 Baseball Annual comes out this week. I’ve been a customer since 2005, and this year I wrote an article for them on a handful of the experiences I had during the past year. It was a fun one to write, and I hope people enjoy it.

Instead of putting up an Amazon ad, I’ll just refer you to your local independent bookstore to get ahold of a copy of the best yearly publication of baseball analysis around. You can also grab a copy at THT’s website. Lest people think this a shameless plug, I’ll add that I make no money on sales of The Hardball Times.

About

I’m currently working on a year-long research project on the globalization of baseball, courtesy of the Thomas J. Watson Foundation. Over the next 12 months, my project will take me to the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Australia, Puerto Rico, Okinawa, and Venezuela, and I decided to set up this blog to share some of the things I pick up along the way.
